@SnickrotMy situation is better. I am a public worker. I work 8 hours a day, 5 days a week, 30 days of vacation, I can choose the period of vacation and if I will divide the 30 days in 1, 2 or 3 periods. I always choose a period starting Tuesday after a holiday on Monday or ending on a Thursday before a holiday on Friday. After 5 p.m. I can literally see the department on fire and I don't need to do anything.
